Chapter 31: If something goes wrong, I will take responsibility
After Shen Zhang finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at those who had just spoken rudely and called Shen Shuwei unfilial.
Those people lowered their heads as low as they could, fearing that their faces would be remembered by Chen Zhang.
Chen Zhang took in their reactions, turned away with a cold sneer, and stretched his neck. "I just heard that a miraculous doctor came to your mansion, and I wanted to bring a group of brothers to visit him."
Chen Zhang glanced sideways, and the dozen or so brave guards behind him immediately rushed to shout "ouch, ouch".
"I've had a scar on my face since I was a child. Now that I'm getting married, girls are afraid of me. I need a miracle doctor to heal me. I can't wait until I get married."
"I have a hidden wound from the bandit suppression. It flares up every time it rains. I don't know if it's life-threatening. I heard that Doctor Yun is very skilled and can definitely cure me."
"And me, and me. I twisted my foot while on duty last night. This is a serious matter. Who knows if my right foot is broken? I'm the only son my mother has, and I can't let him become lame."
The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes.
Chu Yunlan looked at the brave guards, each of them strong enough to kill a cow, yet they were shouting with full energy. His face suddenly turned pale, but he could not get angry. He swallowed his anger and said, "The Marquis' Mansion has distinguished guests today. I'm afraid I can't receive you."
After these words were spoken, the guards who had been pretending to be weak could no longer stand it. Some rolled up their sleeves, some glared.
"What do you mean? Are you looking down on us, who are from humble backgrounds, for not being able to enter your mansion?"
"That's right! Is there any justice left? We defend our country and the territory of Da Qi, yet now we don't even have the qualifications to see a doctor! You must give us an explanation today!"
Someone even walked over to Chu Yunlan and grabbed his collar to threaten him, frightening Chu Xinrou who was standing next to him and causing her to scream, "Second brother! What are you doing? Are you buying into my sister's nonsense and joining in her mischief?"
She covered her chest with her hands, her face pale, and looked at Shen Zhang in fear and anxiety.
Even if Second Brother was angry with her before, she is now about to have a heart attack because of these people. Why doesn't Second Brother chase them away?
She once had a heart attack at the Shen family and passed out. When she woke up, she saw Shen Zhang with a red, swollen and bleeding forehead. She asked him how it happened, but he refused to tell her.
It was Chen Heng who told her that when she was unconscious, Chen Zhang kowtowed every three steps and went to the temple to pray for her.
Her second brother had been so good to her in the past, she didn't believe that he wouldn't recognize her. It must be something he said in anger, so she just had to humble herself and coax him.
Chu Xinrou clutched her clothes at her chest, looked at Chen Zhang with tears in her eyes, and said softly, "Second brother, there are many distinguished guests in the Marquis' Mansion today. If I let them in, all my efforts these days will be in vain. Second brother, can you please let them leave? I will also go to the miracle doctor to help talk to him and ask him to see you, second brother."
"I made a plate of chestnut cake the day before yesterday. It was my second brother's favorite."
"Jin Que, go and bring out that plate of chestnut cakes."
When several guards heard Chu Xinrou calling Chen Zhang "Second Brother", they looked at each other, let go of Chu Yunlan, and tactfully took a few steps back.
General Shen loved his sisters dearly. When they were on duty, they would often see him asking around for sweet but not greasy pastries, as one of his sisters didn't like overly sweet pastries. Or asking which shop had the latest toys, as his youngest sister loved to play with them.
Although he didn't know why General Shen's sister was in the Marquis' Mansion, the little girl looked so weak. If she was scared to death by them, General Shen would fight them to the death.
Chu Xinrou was delighted to see them retreat. She was about to continue speaking softly while holding the handkerchief when she heard an arrogant and unruly voice.
"Why are you retreating? Break in now! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!" Four guards in black led the way, and Xiao Chifeng, wearing a cloud brocade and gold brocade robe, walked over arrogantly.
When Chu Yunlan saw Xiao Chifeng, he remembered the time when he was kicked out of the Shen family by Xiao Chifeng's people, and his face suddenly turned red and white.
Chu Xinrou was stunned.
Is this the Prince of Kangping? He is indeed a handsome man with an extraordinary bearing.
The next moment, the King of Kangping, whom she had been thinking about, grinned at her and said, "Ji Yi and Ji Er, clear out the people who are getting in the way. I want to see the miracle doctor."
Before Chu Xinrou could react, she was pulled away by a guard. Chu Yunlan and Ji Jinglan were also taken aside by the four black-robed guards brought by Prince Kangping.
There was also a special guard who cleaned the steps to prevent any dirt from getting on Xiao Chifeng's feet.
Chen Zhang's eyes twitched as he looked at his ostentatious behavior.
How did he follow me?
Soon, those brave guards, led by Xiao Chifeng, rushed in like wild horses out of a fence.
"Stop right there, Chen Shuwei! Do you know who came to the Marquis' Mansion today? Are you going to destroy us by letting these people in?" Chu Yunlan was held by two guards and struggled violently, shouting, "The Marquis' Mansion has raised you for so many years, you ungrateful wolf, are you going to destroy the Mansion?"
Chen Shuwei stood beside him, looking at Chu Yunlan with a look that seemed to want to bite him to death, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I have already said that I have made peace with the Marquis' Mansion. Why do you always like to bring up the so-called grace of raising me?"
"Chu Yunlan, to be fair, have you really treated me well during my sixteen years in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Chu Yunlan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Shen Shuwei, "Besides, I came here today just to take back what belongs to me. If you have a clear conscience, why would you stop me like this?"
"Chen Shuwei, how dare you! You ungrateful, white-eyed wolf! If you dare to take the miracle doctor away, I will never forgive you!"
Shen Zhang was walking behind Shen Shuwei. He turned back coldly at the sound, his expression stern and ferocious. The next moment, he slapped Chu Yunlan's mouth with the hilt of his sword.
This scared the guards walking nearby. Oh, General Shen was so angry.
Chu Yunlan's mouth was suddenly slapped hard, and his lips hit his teeth, causing him to scream in pain.
Chu Xinrou was also frightened and hurried forward to support him.
Chen Zhang put away the hilt of the sword, pulled the corner of his lips, said with a forced smile, "Sorry, my hand slipped" and was about to leave.
"Second brother..." A mournful and gentle voice came from behind him.
Shen Zhang turned his head and looked at Chu Xinrou expressionlessly, "I've already said that you are not considered a member of the Shen family. Don't call me second brother anymore."
The nearby guards hissed when they heard Chen Zhang's words, and looked at Chu Xinrou with strange eyes.
It turns out that she is not General Shen Lang’s sister. Why does she keep calling him “Second Brother”? How shameless.
There were already many guests visiting the Marquis' Mansion today for Doctor Yun, so they were shocked to see so many Southern Courtyard Imperial Guards suddenly rushing in at the door. They thought that the Marquis' Mansion was being raided because someone had committed a crime, until they saw Xiao Chifeng leading the group.
These brave guards were very tactful. When they met people, they told them that they were seriously ill and that Prince Kangping was taking them to see Doctor Yun.
Although this statement was awkward and strange, everyone was not stupid. There was no need to make things difficult for Prince Kangping, who even dared to beat the princes in the palace.
